Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has spoken about her battle with tinnitus, saying she feared she would "never hear silence again".

The TV presenter opened up about having a mild form of the condition, which often causes sufferers to experience a buzzing or humming in their ears.

Speaking on the ITV show on Monday, she said: "When I first started hearing it, which is probably about 10 years ago, I became quite distressed that I would never hear silence again. "

Susanna earlier told viewers she had a "very mild" form of the condition.

She and host Ben Shephard were then joined by Tracey Hudson, who developed tinnitus suddenly and suffered from a buzzing in her ears before receiving treatment which helped her to cope with the condition.

It's not the first time Susanna has spoken about having tinnitus.

In 2013, she told the Daily Mail: "I've had tinnitus since [son] Finn's birth, which probably resulted from a difficult labour."
